BREAKING!!! State Department has approved a possible $2.1 billion sale of 500 Patriot PAC-3 MSE missiles to Ukraine.
The deal will be funded entirely by allies and partners, including Canada, Germany and Norway — with no U.S. taxpayer funds involved.

Our new interceptor is already taking down jet-powered Shaheds over Kyiv. Two Geran-5s down in its first week.
Our team, together with Pavlo Yelizarov, our military, and engineers, built this new interceptor drone. Combat testing was carried out by crews from Lasar’s Group. From concept to confirmed intercepts: just 1 month.
Next step: full autonomy, scaling, and a pipeline of new defense-tech products to protect Ukrainian cities.

SPECIAL REPORT: Ukrainian forces have defeated the 2026 Russian campaign to seize Donetsk Oblast.
Russian forces intended to conduct a deep encirclement of the entire Fortress Belt from the Lyman direction in the north and the Dobropillya direction in the southwest, linking up near Barvinkove, Kharkiv Oblast. This wide encirclement would have largely completed the seizure of unoccupied Donetsk Oblast.
The Ukrainian counteroffensive known as Operation Vivaldi in the Lyman direction has completely disrupted this Russian plan by inflicting an operational defeat on the northern Russian pincer. This Ukrainian success will force the Russian military to reconstitute and likely fundamentally rethink its approach to accomplish its goals in this area.
There is therefore no basis to assess that Russian forces will be able to take the rest of Donetsk Oblast in any short period of time, as Russian President Vladimir Putin continues to claim, or even to forecast that Russian forces will ever be able to complete their seizure of this region by force.

So, apparently, the first Ukrainian-made ballistic missile, FP-7, ladies and gentlemen.

A friend of mine, the exceptional Georgian poet, incredible person, Zviad Ratiani, now a political prisoner, is a veteran of the russo-Georgian 2008 war.
At the time, he worked for a GSM mobile network operator, as an engineer.
When russian attacks severed the fiber-optic cable connections near Gori, communication between eastern and western Georgia was repeatedly cut off. Under russian fire, Zviad Ratiani was repairing the damaged network and restoring those vital links.
During those dark days, when we were still able to stay connected with one another, much of the credit belongs to Zviad Ratiani.

Russians are far worse than any barbarian hordes in history. They just damaged one of the holiest shrines of Ukrainian Orthodoxy, the Dormition Cathedral (Uspensky Sobor), built in 1078, Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We will never forgive Russia😡Never🤬

Mike Stonebraker is a Turing award winner famous for his fundamental contributions to databases (e.g. Postgres, C-Store and much more). I interviewed him recently about:
• The story behind Postgres & the hardest technical challenge in building it
• Where he disagreed with Google's technical decisions
• Future problems in databases
• Literature recommendations to learn databases
• Why LLMs score 0% on his text-SQL benchmark
• What if you replaced all state in an OS with a DB

Here are the weapons President Zelenskyy revealed in his Armourers’ Day address.

The future is already on the front line – and Ukraine is building it. These are our ground robotic systems. For the first time in the history of this war, an enemy position was taken exclusively by unmanned platforms – ground systems and drones. The occupiers surrendered, and the operation was carried out without infantry and without losses on our side.
Ratel, TerMIT, Ardal, Rys, Zmiy, Protector, Volia, and our other ground robotic systems have already carried out more than 22,000 missions on the front in just three months. In other words, lives were saved more than 22,000 times when a robot went into the most dangerous areas instead of a warrior. This is about high technology protecting the highest value – human life.
From the congratulatory address to the workers of Ukraine’s defense-industrial complex (2/3).
